Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Evergreen does not have distinct academic departments. Since faculty co-teach across disciplines and rotate through graduate and undergraduate levels it isn't possible to define any distinctively separate set within the faculty. Also, faculty research is not a criterion for either faculty promotion or tenure at Evergreen. Therefore, faculty research plays a very different role in academic engagement at the college. Both externally and institutionally sponsored research is a small piece of our academic work.
